Recent reports in the media suggest that Dominic Solanke could be set for a January loan move to Turkey.

According to Calcio Mercato, Galatasaray are eyeing Liverpool duo Divock Origi and Solanke for January loan swoops.

But Liverpool must resist any offers from Galatasaray for Solanke as this would be the wrong career move for him.

At this stage of his career, Solanke needs to pressing Jurgen Klopp for some first-team action.

With Roberto Firmino ahead of him in the pecking order, Solanke is vying with Daniel Sturridge for the back-up role at Anfield.

But a January loan move could help the England under-21 star’s development.

Many clubs will be keen on Solanke, who has proven his goal scoring prowess at youth level for club and country.

But without a first-team appearance to his name in the 2018/19 season, Liverpool need to make a decision.

Either Klopp gives Solanke more opportunities or farms him out on loan in the January window.

However, if he does decide to let Solanke leave on loan, it must be to an English club.

The 21-year-old’s only previous loan experience came at Vitesse in the Netherlands and it is now time for him to prove himself in England.

Premier League clubs will be lining up to take Solanke so that should be a more favourable option than sending him to Champions League outfit Galatasaray in January.
